- Enemies:
- Weak: Disturbing sounds- Are those footsteps? A demented laughter somewhere in the distance? A person's dying screams? Is that a whisper you can hear, carried in the wind? This place is really freaky...
(Causes paranoia or similar effects, depending on your character. Strong-willed characters or people with a great ability to maintain their calmness can resist this to a great extent, though not completely. Having multiple weak enemy dices means that these sounds "stack", and so their effect becomes greater and perhaps even capable of breaking even the toughest of people. Duration is 3 posts.)
Normal: Poltergeists- Trees falling down, rocks suddenly shooting towards you, having your body strongly pushed away without any explanation. These anomalies can deal some serious damage or scare the living daylights out of you. They might even separate you from your allies. Be on guard. (Single poltergeist per normal monster encounter.)
Strong: The unknown figure- You can feel it, can't you? Just beyond the mist, it's hollow eyes staring right into your soul, sending ice-cold chills down your spine. No matter where you look it's there. Always watching, always moving. And no matter what you do, it's always just beyond the mist.
(Greatly frightens you, triggering your fight or flight mechanism. Whether you choose to attack or run away and hide depends on your character's personality. If this occurs in the early stages of the mission, before you've encountered the other anomalies much it will not have that great an effect. Encountering this in the later stages, however, will trigger your fight or flight mechanism, guaranteed.
Duration is 4 posts, extended depending on number of strong monster encounter dices rolled.)
Boss:Fear impersonated- Your time is up. The chase is over and now you must die. And it is coming to do just that. The unknown figure that had been stalking you until then finally appears before you, for better or worse. It's a humanoid about 2,5 metres tall, clad in black, but that's all you can make out of the figure.
It's attacks are unnaturally fast, it's reach long and it seems that it can attack you with it's tentacles, cutting you with them and letting you bleed. (This is a B-rank monster. Also please note that defeating it means that it does not die. Instead it escapes back into the mist, which gets raised soon after, and leaves behind several torn pages).

Ren stood at the opening to the forest, and swallowed loudly. How long was it going to take Kihia to get here? The only reason Ren had agreed to investigate the package he had be sent and it's mysterious (and quite honestly terrifying) contents was because Kihia had agreed to come along with him. Ever since the vegetable incident, he had sworn never to do anything alone again. It was safer that way, seeming as he couldn't compose himself in the face of danger super well, and he had obtained several bruises in unpleasant places because of those damn vegetables. Ren couldn't look at broccoli the same way after that.
Ren had been spending the past few minutes distracting himself from looking directly at the forest, adjusting his hair pins, messing with the few locks of hair that hung in his face, repositioning his hat, but eventually he couldn't help but stare into the misty forest. It was really unnerving to look at, Ren felt like something was watching him on the other side... No, it was too early for paranoia. He turned his back to the forest, but it only seemed to make it worse. Please hurry, Kihia. Ren thought to himself as a shiver went down his spine.
